Teeeezy C enters into rock territory in triumphant fashion, with an absorbing road movie-style video for&nbsp;Nothing But Thieves.In the video for Overcome, a couple leave their enigmatic surroundings in search of the perfect life, on the road with the band - and Teeezy puts a modern twist on classic rock videos from the golden age of MTV.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Taking us on a journey of human connection as they head towards the DCC - an obscure&nbsp;entity that represents one’s deepest desires - the video is tied together by a captivating performance from the band, and an overarching sense of mystery.With a naturalistic colour palette and brilliant central performances from the main characters, it's an evocative, powerful journey and a brilliant complement to the group's comeback track.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tom Ringsby directs a striking monochromatic promo for pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason.With sweeping camera movement, a stripped-back colour palette and a focus on pure performance, the video for Children's Corner is a stunning two and a half minutes, made under extreme time pressures - as explained by Tom Ringsby below:"[The video was]&nbsp;put together in five days following an email chain with the subject line 'urgent music video request'," he explains. "[We]&nbsp;only had 90 minutes with classical pianist superstar Isata, so focused everything into capturing a few key angles, subtly bringing the themes of time and memory to life by setting her Steinway Grand between the camera and key light as they revolve around her."Job done. It's a beautiful piece of work that doesn't hint at the time constraints in any way, and showcases&nbsp;Kanneh-Mason's immense gift with style and grace.

Ben Cole follows the transcendent promo for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2023/03/30/aidan-we-hug-we-sway-ben-cole/80988">We Hug We Sway</a> with another affecting visual for Aidan.&nbsp;The video for By Myself is another melancholic, stripped back affair, largely formed of a singular tracking shot and pensive performance shots.&nbsp;Utilising the same abyss-like studio environment, the abstract video is a both a natural progression and aesthetic complement to the previous project.&nbsp;Singularly haunting and emotionally complex, it's a video you won't want to miss.&nbsp;

Ben Cole directs a transcendent promo for singer songwriter Aidan's We Hug We Sway.&nbsp;We see the artist perform in an abyss-like studio, posed on a rotating platform with a bare-bellied pregnant woman (Georgia Amodu Curtis) who masterfully wields several different martial arts weapons.Artfully composed and leaning into a heavily abstract, illusory aesthetic, the video is a mesmerising&nbsp;watch.&nbsp;Sam E H Hooper's&nbsp;filmic, enigmatic cinematography&nbsp;works in beautiful synchronicity with Cole's quick-cut edit and stylistic direction.[imgtoken data:1]

Thea Gajic directs a second promo for singer-songwriter Mychelle, exploring how we deal with the emotional turmoil of a breakup.&nbsp;The concept sees a young woman set up a camera in the corner of her house, just in time to capture her ex-boyfriend collecting the last of his things. From there, we see a montage of different moments - from dinner with friends through to arguments on the phone - all from the fixed vantage point the character set up herself.&nbsp;"I wanted to take the typical break-up story and use it to explore our self-obsession and what it might look like if we set up a camera to record ourselves in our worst moments," Gajic explains. "How self-aware are we? How self-aware do we actually want to be?"This question runs through the video, helping to give context to the narrative moments on-screen, and the eventual reset of the character's life, and her readiness to move forward.&nbsp;With a gentle, realistic aesthetic, it's a new spin on the breakup video, with plenty of engaging visuals throughout.&nbsp;

Dora Paphides follows up her directing debut for sister <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/11/21/eaves-wilder-i-stole-your-jumper-dora-paphides/79341" target="_blank">Eaves Wilder</a> with a bright and breezy&nbsp;video for young Irish singer-songwriter Nell Mescal.The song Homesick is about Mescal's emotional struggles since moving from Ireland to London, and the director takes her on a whirlwind tour, reflecting a sense of&nbsp;confusion and dislocation that comes from moving to a strange city. Using&nbsp;simple visual devices, fast-cutting and numerous locations, Nell begins to find a sustaining support network in this unfamiliar place."This video operates as almost a collection of memories," says Dora Paphides.&nbsp;"The scenes flash on and off screen as Nell tries to navigate home in geographical places. She realises along the video that home doesn't necessarily reside in places but more in people."[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Balan Evans directs a touching promo for Eloise's Drunk On A Flight.&nbsp;The video sees the artist sat at the end of a row of characters, waiting to board a flight in a mockup airport. Fragments of narrative from the lyrics are visualised in vignettes between other characters, yet Eloise exudes&nbsp;the emotion of the entire track, poignant and bittersweet, in her performance.&nbsp;Dynamic camerawork and clever moving pieces give the video a dreamlike flourish, and the art direction helps to both sell the location and give the entire concept a larger than life feel.[imgtoken data:1]"This one was a real feat but it felt like everyone was on the same page from day dot," director Balan Evans says."It’s actually the first big set build I’ve done which had its own new challenges, but we had an incredible team who all brought their own unique style to the film. It all just meshed together in the best possible way."

Up and coming indie-popster Eaves Wilder gets a bright and breezy, woolly-based revenge fantasy - directed by her sister Dora Paphides.&nbsp;The video for I Stole Your Jumper centres around, unsurprisingly, a jumper stolen from the artist's ex. A bright yellow garment,&nbsp;featuring a smiley face, that turns out to be remarkably resilient.[imgtoken data:1]The offending article survives all of Eaves's attempts to destroy it. And&nbsp;after a makeshift bonfire, we see another girl brush it off and take it to try on herself, continuing the cycle of despair.&nbsp;It's a enjoyable&nbsp;concept that fuses contemporary aesthetics with octo-sequel horror film franchises, and an entertaining way to introduce Wilder's unique musical style.

Ellie Dixon laments&nbsp;her online haters, in&nbsp;Jasmine De Silva's&nbsp;promo for Swing!&nbsp;The vibrant visual sees Dixon appear in several baseball-inspired vignettes, shot in a studio to give a heightened, dreamlike feel.The eccentric, larger than life costumes and&nbsp;art direction mirror the internet's blurred lines between artificial and real worlds, and Dixon's captivating performance anchors the concept in a candid way."I wrote this song when I was feeling particularly beaten down by negativity from other people," she explains. "I’d had way too much social media so I switched my phone off for a week, shut myself in my bedroom, and let myself be silly and angry and crack jokes."It’s basically one big ridiculous baseball metaphor reminding you that you are better than the bad things being thrown at you. Swing back baby!"

Depzman, aka Joshua Ribera, a rapper who was stabbed to death aged 18 in 2013,&nbsp;comes back to life in this emotional&nbsp;music video using Deepfake technology, directed by directing duo BRIGHTNIGHT.After opening with a short series of videos of the young rapper performing and his breakout on YouTube, the video then displays a message that gives context to the project - co-commissioned by The Joshua Ribera Foundation, the charity that combats knife crime in his name, and SBTV - and how it came about.&nbsp;BRIGHTNIGHT came up with the idea and pitched it to the charity, in partnership with advertising agency McCann London. The team recreated Depzman using Deepfake video technology and a rapper body double who could lip sync the lyrics and mimic Depz’s characteristic movement, down to the movement of the head and hands.In conjunction with the film, an original track with digitally manipulated vocals and a classic 140bmp grime beat were&nbsp;produced. Rapper ShadowCV ghostwrote the lyrics with Alison Cope, Depzman’s mum, and took inspiration from Depz’s life story and his old videos. Some of his old lyrics were also incorporated into the song.“Deepfake technology gets a lot of criticism in the news but we wanted to show that it can be used for good," say BRIGHTNIGHT.&nbsp;Absorbing and poignant, the video is a standout use of the technology, and an example of the good that can come from creative collaboration.&nbsp;
